Guns For Cars

[shrapnel]

Looking through my gun safes, I realized that I have more guns than I can realistically shoot. Trying to determine if it’s a mid life crisis or just a crossroads, I decided it is just a crossroad.

I started selling some of my older and more collectible guns that I don’t shoot and thought I would see what I could get in trade.

I ended up with a 2023 Corvette 2LT with Z51 performance package and this car is a hoot to drive. Muzzle velocity is 0-60 under 3 seconds..

I can hardly wait to see that car in a photo on the tailgate picture thread.

And here I thought, prior to opening, this thread was some next level b.s. Chicago or California gun buyback program...

Looks like a fun car Shrapnel. Enjoy.

I thought it was going to be a full auto mounted on top of a pickup actually.

I was thinking the scarface "machine gun turrets/optional" line when he is car shopping with Manny.

 

[longbow51]

I was thinking another "best rifle for pickup", so I was pretty far off too.
Enjoy!

A gorgeous car that can get you into trouble soo fast.

Oh what fun.

A good pal in HS had a rebuilt Bronco II. That was a fun little rig. Much cooler than the new ones.

 

[Johnny Bravo]

Love it ! So you actually traded guns to a car dealer for the car or just sold them and bought this?

The new ones don't count imo. Don't even get me started on thr new "blazers".

Crossroad?

That car is screaming mid-life crisis.

I like it.

 

[shb]

I've seriously thought about trading some my collectable stuff, for a good ol suburban.

Or the boat.

Good for you.

Nothing like a really nice fast car. Until you have one, you'll never know.

Nothing like pulling up next to some moron kid in their ( anti gun, anti hunter) Subura WRX who thinks they can beat you.

When I was a kid, my brother and I had a paper route and we would ride our bikes through town delivering papers. We fantasized owning a Corvette when we got old enough and wondered why any adult that had the money, would buy a Cadillac instead of a Corvette.

Today, kids are misguided and think that a 6.5 Creedmoor and a pipey rice grinder is some kind of cool. I am hoping for one of those losers to show up revving their 4 banger wanting to race…

Super cool car, I'll look for you on the road.
Could you get one of the sons to take a video of you and the wife getting in and out of that baby? Post it up!

"Trying to determine if it’s a mid life crisis or just a crossroads, I decided it is just a crossroad."

Definitely not a mid-life crisis car.

I was wondering if Shrap was doing the Belichek shuffle?

Funny, My dad always told me he dreamed of owning a Cadillac on day. Then he ended up with enough money to buy a dealership of them but just kept driving his beat up, cow shit covered truck. I, However always like you dreamed of a Corvette. But then I got romanced by a Mercedes AMG. Its even more fun when the kids pull up against a 4 door sedan. They think they'll show the old guy how fast their car is. Except its a twin turbo AMG type S. Not quite as fast as yours but 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. Except mine is a AWD virtually no tire spin.

Enjoy the car. GOOD for you, OLD guys rule!
